Unpacking
“smalls” from the Dump

ReClaim It is a nonprofit creative reuse store at 1 N Killingsworth St in Portland. A tote of “smalls” recovered from the dump is unpacked on Saturday, October 31, with haunted dolls, ceramic cats, wind chimes and mirror trays among the rescued items. Volunteers glean at the transfer station each week to keep such treasures out of the landfill; since 2014, the nonprofit has diverted more than 1.4 million pounds from the waste stream. The store is open 12–6 p.m. on Saturdays.
